Night Time – KOWS Oct 28, 2015

October 29, 2015 Dave

No more alternating Saturday mornings for Deeper Roots. We’re a weekly publication now…every Wednesday evening at 7 Pacific!. We’re going to settle into our new KOWS time-slot tonight with music that celebrates our new day of the week and we’ll also roam east, south, west and north in our pursuit of the best from the last 100 years of American music. Join us right after Robert Feuer’s Blues Up the River for some ‘down river’ sounds including Johnny Horton, Tom Rush, Riley Puckett, and some John Lee Hooker. Because the night time is the right time.

Songs of the Dust Bowl

October 25, 2015 Dave

Our story is one that we’ve covered before, previously focusing on the Great Depression and the music of Woody Guthrie. This episode pulls in the theme of that tragic chapter of a drought that uprooted nearly 60 percent of the population from the affected region of Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Colorado, and New Mexico. With the soil lacking a firm root due to poor farm practices, the plains winds would pick up the loose topsoil and create the dust clouds that ravaged farm and city alike. The music we’ll hear tonight brings us the stories, including those of Woody and Arlo Guthrie, Bob Gibson, Lane Hardin, Vernon Dahlart, and The Morrison Two Brothers String Band.

In The Gloaming – KOWS Oct 24, 2015

October 24, 2015 Dave

Our Saturday morning show opens with some caffeine-driven music…literally… songs about the magic bean, that morning beverage that starts the day for some of us. We’ve got swamp pop from Randy & The Rockets, some jumpin’ jive from Cab Calloway, twilight reflections from Jonatha Brooke and The Sons of The Pioneers, and some Chet Atkins, David Lindley, and Eilen Jewell. KOWS community radio studios will be moving before the end of the year to a very central West County location that will bring us in closer contact with our listeners…and our Deeper Roots. And some exciting news! Deeper Roots moves to weekly broadcasts on KOWS.

Wild Men and Wild Women

October 10, 2015 Dave

It’s theme time once again and we’re going to find ourselves among the wild and crazy men as well as the wild, woolly women. Round town girls celebrate, burning that candle, and Keely Smith will jump, jive, and wail with Louis Prima. Red Ingle and His Natural Seven will join the Sons of the Pioneers in spreading the word about ‘cigareets, whuskey, and wild, wild women”. Mae West, Julia Lee, Ernie Ford, and Jerry Lee Lewis will keep the party going and Deeper Roots will keep the lights on ’till 11pm sharp (that’s Pacific Time, of course). Join Dave Stroud for another two hours of a century of America’s music on KWTF, 88.1 FM, community radio for Bodega Bay.

High Noon

September 26, 2015 Dave

It’s a new morning…as it always is…and was when we celebrated another Saturday morning in Occidental with Deeper Roots Radio: A Century of America’s Music with host Dave Stroud. This twice-monthly show opens with a mule kicking in the stall, some barnyard rhythm and then moves swiftly into a blend of 1950s country and big band. Ray Charles, Frankie Laine, Chick Webb, Otis Spann, and Merle Travis are just a sampling of performers we’ll hear from. West County living deserves roots music wafting over the airwaves on a Saturday morning in early autumn. Let’s set the airwaves stage with some Otis Spann.

Deeper Roots on KWTF, Folk and Tradition, Gospel, Mountain Music

The Dust-to-Digital Label

September 26, 2015 Dave

Our weekly KWTF show is about a label whose chief purpose is the resurrection of that curious mix of ephemera, folklore, ancestry, and musicianship that reveals itself as folk music: whether it be pre-Monroe bluegrass, gospel, blues, or early pop. The label I speak of is Dust-To-Digital and we’ll scratch the surface of some of the great work that they’ve issued since 1999, the year Lance Ledbetter and his wife April open shop in Atlanta, Georgia.Their mission is the same as it was then: to produce high quality cultural artifacts.

Pitchfork magazine put it this way: “Although the folklorists lugging around tape recorders (and the performers carrying on ancient traditions) are worthy of much heralding, it’s equally astounding how essential Lance Ledbetter’s work at Dust-to-Digital has been to the preservation of traditional American folksong. It’s easy to buy and appreciate these sets without realizing that the bulk of the material might have been lost — or, at the very least, tethered to archives, readily accessible only to curious faculty, paper-writing students, and bespectacled researchers — without Ledbetter’s interference.”

Country, Deeper Roots on KWTF, Folk and Tradition

Modern Americana in Tradition

September 19, 2015 Dave

We revisit tradition and roots with a number of contemporary performers who honor the American musical heritage with new arrangements, new interpretations, and songs whose lyrics might take on a different meaning in a new time. What was ripe for picking in the first part of the century might not mean all of the same in our world today. We’ll hear songs of love, death, destitution, prostitution, farmer’s work, the sky above and the sea below… You’ll hear Americana releases from as far back as 1971 and we’ll include a number of tracks from this year…the year 2015…with the one thing in common being that the songs performed have stories that go further back and, in most cases, go so far back that they are considered traditional.
